RE: 20 amp receptacles on 15 amp line?

I agree with everything you say. It is the insurance companies that concern me, particularly my insurance company. That is why I have 2 20 amp dedicated lines from 20 amp breakers to 20 amp receptacles. i also agree that you can put 15 amp receptacles on a 20 amp branch. Nothing could go wrong with this setup. I doubt that anything would go wrong with a 20 amp receptacle on a 15 amp branch, even if you put a 20 amp devise on it. The breaker would just break if it drew too much, but I prefer to keep things code for insurance purposes.

I think they are using 20 amp faceplates because the audiophile market perception is that it is better.
